Adrian i^offman
T^ROM boyhood, and during his long, active and useful life,
the late Adrian H. Joline was especially interested in
American and English history. The profound knowledge
which he acquired, as the result of systematic and painstaking
study in this and other fields, naturally suggested to him the
collection of books and autographs. He entered with zest into
the acquisition of important literary treasures; not so much
for mere acquisition as for use and study. He collected with
discrimination. His collection was made with a view to having
his books and autographs typify important events and epochs
and illustrate important incidents in the lives of distinguished
men. He discarded the unimportant in order that he might,
with important examples only, increase the historical and
literary value of his collections, his daily and intimate com-
panions.
As his library and autograph collection grew and became of
such importance, he wrote, at the suggestion of his friends,
charmingly on the subjects he held in such great affection.
His "Meditations of an Autograph Collector," the "Diver-
sions of a Book Lover," and "Rambles in Autograph Land"
are prized by collectors, not only for their literary value but
as authoritative treatises on autographs and books. The
"Edgehill Essays," the "Peapack Papers," and "At the
Library Table" are among his other books.
His writings are characterized by humor, philosophy,
shrewd observations of men and events, deep insight into po-
litical history and social life, strong human sympathy, and
an intimate knowledge of the best literature.
He treasured his books and his autographs, and the con-
198483
eluding words of his "Meditations" that follow showed his
deep affection for them and his generous wish that others
might also enjoy them:
"No one will ever be as fond of my pets as I have
been, and at no distant day they will be scattered among
the bidders at the inevitable auction-sale which awaits
all collections save only those consigned to perpetual
burial in some library. My own association with them
will be lost and forgotten. I look upon them almost as
one might upon the children whom he must leave behind
him. They, however, may remember, while our cherished
autographs and books, in serene unconsciousness, will be
forever unmindful of the fondness which has been lav-
ished upon them. A rare book will now and then retain
the record of a tender and devoted ownership, but an
autograph seldom recalls the memory of a chance pos-
sessor. None the less dear to me are these relics of the lead-
ers of life and literature. Some one will preserve them and
perhaps may fondle them as I have done. I trust that
they may come under the protecting care of a true col-
lector, a real antiquary — no mere bargain-hunter, no
'snapper-up of unconsidered trifles,' but one endowed
with the capacity to appreciate whatsoever things are
worthy of the affection of the lover of letters and of
history. ' '

biographers. The elaborate footnotes, exhibiting patient in-
dustry and scholarly research, riot only explain the text but
give descriptions of the important places that Burr visited and
sketches of the prominent rulers, statesmen, and literary char-
acters with whom he associated during his visit to Europe

•Admiral Du Pont at this time was being urged by the Navy
Department to capture Charleston with the aid of several new
ironclads, which up to that time were untried arms of the ser-
43
vice against strongly fortified ports. Without the support of a
land force Du Pont thought this to be a dangerous experiment,
and this he explains in his letter as follows: "By day and night
I am contemplating the possibility of relieving the heart of the
Nation, in some degree at least. But the task before me is sim-
ply Herculean. The day has gone by for a joint expedition. In
May last, by seizing stores, I put the soldiers almost literally
on top of Charleston, tuhen I enabled them to land on James
Island — but they failed, and now it is covered with forts. The
forces can aid but little now, and the affair resolves itself into
an experiment, between forts and iron dads." And further on,
referring to the ironclads: " Out of the Jive sent, one has found-
ered and the other has arrived totally disabled," etc.

Federalist leaders : ' ' Mr. Clinton looks with abhorrence on a
French alliance in any form and under any circumstances, that
he holds Buonaparte and his views and system in such detesta-
tion, as to be willing to bear a great deal from England, rather
than throw the least weight into the French scale; that he thinks
a peace with England upon honourable tei ms, is easily attain-
able." Regarding the Clintonian democrats, the party is to
"Support them silently with our votes." He requests the re-
ceiver to treat " the communication as strictly confidential, and
take every precaution to prevent them from becoming public."

" By the next packet ynu will receive the MS. of a volume

eral he writes: "For my part I thank the Gods, that I have
attained to that desirable state of mind, in which I can contem-
plate these party feuds without caring two straws which side
gets the worst of it, my only wish being that they may give
each other a sound drubbing. As to talking of patriotism and
principle, I've seen enough both of general and state politics
to convince me they are mere words of mouth — 'Banners hung
on the outer walls,' for the rabble to fight by; the Tcnowing
leaders laugh at them in their sleeves for being gulled by such
painted rags."

Fleet ivhich has been seen for some days past coasting along
our eastern shore, last night entered our Bay; it consists of 100
sail. We think it not only of immediate concern to this state to
give you this information but also of ye greatest consequence
to ye United States in general." Another gives the news of

onies: and gives his views on the issuing of paper money by
Congress, by the absence of which they " run the risk of loos-
ing the Army."

831. POE (EDGAR ALLAN). ORIGINAL DRAFT of a Let-
ter to Professor Charles Anthon, 7 pages 4to [June, 1844],
all in the handwriting of Poe, showing his methods of con-
structing an important letter, with its many changes of
words, phrases, and even whole paragraphs. Some peculiar
marks and words occur on spaces unoccupied by the text
which appear to have no connection with the letter itself, such
as "Alice My Dear. My Dear. My D." Unsigned. Pub-
lished in Harrison's "Life and Letters of Poe," pp. 175.
' ' Before quitting the ' Messenger ' I saw, or fancied I saw,
through a long and dim vista, the brilliant field for ambition
which a Magazine of bold and noble aims presented to him who
104
should successfully establish it in America. I perceived that
the country, from its very constitution, could not fail of afford-
ing in a few years a larger proportionate amount of readers
than any upon earth. I perceived that the whole energetic, busy
spirit of the age tended wholly to Magazine literature — to the
curt, the terse; the well-timed, and the readily diffused, in
preference to the old forms of the verbose and ponderous and
the inaccessible," etc.
"Holding steadily in view my ultimate purpose, — to found a
Magazine of my own, or in which at least I might have a pro-
prietary right, — it has been my constant endeavour in the mean-
time, not so much to establish a reputation great in itself as
one of that particular character which should best further my
special objects, and draw attention to my exertions as Editor
of a Magazine. Thus I have written no books, and have been
so far essentially a Magazinist, bearing, not only willingly but
cheerfully, sad poverty and the thousand consequent contumelies
and other ills which the condition of the mere Magazinist entails
upon him in America, where, more than in any other region
upon the face of the globe, to be poor is to be despised," etc.
"Setting aside, for the present, my criticisms, poems, and
miscellanies (sufficiently numerous), my tales, a great number
of which might be termed fantasy pieces, are in number sixty-
six. They would make, perhaps, five of the ordinary novel
volumes. I have them prepared in every respect for the press;
but, alas, I have no money, nor that influence which would
enable me to get a publisher — although I seek no pecuniary
remuneration ... 7 know that you have unbounded influence
with the Harpers, and I know that if you would exert it in my
behalf you could procure me the publication I desire,"

* IMPORTANT HISTORICAL LETTER. The state of Maine and
the Province of New Brunswick were fast approaching actual
hostilities over the possession of Aroostook, the "Disputed Ter-
ritory," when Gen. Scott was sent by the U. S. Government to
procure ' ' Peace with Honor. ' ' The above letter, written soon
after the signing of the "Memorandum" at Washington,
plainly shows his feelings regarding war with Great Britain.
After referring to his own private claim against the Govern-
ment he dwells on his overture made to Sir John Harvey: "you
may never see my letter to Sir John (semi-official) to whioh I
shall soon have a reply (in 5 or 7 days) intimating a practical
arrangement by which to stave off a conflict of arms, in the
disputed territory $• gain time to enable the Government at
Washington to settle the great question of boundary with the
government at London. The Governor here and other leading
men approved my overture, before it was sent off, <$• I do not
doubt that Sir J. Harvey will give a reply which will open this
door to a close approximation, after the passage, perhaps of a
few additional notes . . . I can hardly doubt that we shall be
able to gain the necessary time to enable the diplomats of the
two countries to arrange the whole matter amicably $• satis-
factorily . . . Use these obscure hints discretly. It is my
wish <$• belief that we shall avoid collision," etc.

Gaines commanded the Western Department, and in this letter
Taylor tells of his entire campaign, the attitude of the Govern-
ment in Washington, his lack of support and supplies, and other
hardships.

* Owing to the state of public opinion in New York, caused
by the arrival on the same day of Gen. Washington and Gov.
Tryon, the latter suffered much uneasiness and mortification,

Gordon" under the protection of the guns of the "Asia,"
where he continued his intrigues with citizens. The above let-
ter is one of his last official communications to the inhabitants
of the Colony before actual hostilities with Great Britain; in it
he refers to his resignation as governor and to the state of the
Colony: "His Majesty has been graciously pleased, to grant
me his Eoyal permission to withdraw from my Government . . .
It has given me great pain to view the Colony committed to my
care, in such a Turbulent State, as not to have afforded me
since my arrival, any prospect of being able to take the Dis-
passionate and Deliberate Scncc of its Inhabitants."
Accompanying the above is the following A. N., in the hand-
writing of Gov. Tryon : ' ' Govr. Tryon presents his best
Complts. to Mr. Speaker, and sends him inclosed the Declaration
of his Sentiments to the inhabitants of the Province. — Ship

there was a stream of firing all around the camp rapidly pasting

a song prepared for the occasion."

necessary. You will observe Galicia, new map, Silesia, Germany

perfect in existence, will please very much your Excellency
/ have added some new maps, among which the British Islands
by Lapre. This has the advantage of showing all the coasts in
relation with the Islands for the landings, as well for the em-
barkings, which has a merit under the present circumstances."

27. AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Varick (Col. Richard).
Autograph Document, 3 pp. 4to, unsigned, with the heading

* A Eevolutionary document of great historical importance,
being no less than a contemporary list of all the American
forces in Canada at the crisis of the first Northern campaign,
compiled by Col. Varick, then captain of the 6th company of
New York's first Continental Eegiment which formed a part
of Gen. Montgomery's force. At the time this document was
written Gen. Arnold had just completed his terrible expedition
through Maine, and had fallen back from Quebec to Point aux
Trembles to await the arrival of Gen. Montgomery's force,
which was proceeding down the St. Lawrence after the capture
of Montreal. The list is summarized in a note by Varick as
follows: "Of the within number of 1632 men supposed to
remain in Canada it is more than probable that 300 have passed
this Post without calling of which I have no account, so that
with Col. Arnold's Corps which may lie about 650, the whole

like to make to the military equipment of the post, he writes:
"In this Situation Sir, I am under the necessity of looking up
to your Excellency, for such Assistance, as it may be in your
Power or that of this State, to furnish me with, for securing
Posts, established at such amazing Expence, 8r which are of
such vast Importance to the United States in general $• to this

form themselves into a body either under the command of the

ants who were members of the court, on board the Alfred, first
flagship of the Continental Navy. Accompanied by a letter
of guarantee as to the genuineness of the document. 3 por-
traits and a view. Together 6 pieces.
* The above document deals with an incident of extreme im-
portance in connection with the life and career of John Paul
Jones.
On the night of April 6th, 1776, when the American fleet was
off Reedy Island on their return from the successful expedition
to New Providence, they suddenly discovered in their midst a
hostile vessel (the Glasgow), which was immediately engaged
by the Alfred. Owing to the disagreeable temper of her com-
mander, John Hazard, the Providence delayed in standing by
to assist in capturing the powerful enemy, although he had
previously been warned to prepare for action. This resulted in
the court martial reported in the above document, at which
Lieut. Jones sat in judgment. Capt. Hazard was cashiered
and Paul Jones, heretofore passed over by intriguing poli-
ticians, was appointed in his place, because of abilities dis-
played in the same engagement.
The names appearing as members of the court martial in-
clude: Dudley 3altonsta.il, Pres. Abraham Whipple, and
Nicholas Middle, three of the first five commanders appointed
31
by Congress for the Continental Navy; and, in addition to John
Paul Jones, Bhodes Arnold, and Hoysted Hacker, three of the
first lieutenants appointed at the same time. In copying the
document Paul Jones has had occasion to sign his name twice.
First in the list of members and secondly in the signatures at
the end.

that the Tory party liad given birth to the federalist party.
Miss Wright knows too well the United States to have com-
mitted such an error. The federalist party was composed of
Hamilton, Adams, Jay, King, Knox, etc., that is to say of the
Whigs distinguished in the army, in the public conventions, in
the revolution as well a-s the persons of the other party," etc.

terms short of submission will be granted them, in order to
show the contrary the bill accompanying the letter is sent out.
The bill empowers the King to enable his commissioners to
make peace reserving to the parliament a right to regulate our
commerce, etc. . . . But what is very singular in this transac-
tion is that the bill which is sent over has not passed into a law
but after being read and agreed to, it is ordered to be printed

GENERAL PARSONS' ORDERLY BOOK DURING THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
408. AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Orderly Book of
General Samuel H. Parsons, largelj- in his autograph,
written while he was in charge of the construction of the
defences of West Point, from Feb. 16, 1778, to April 29,
1778; 36 pages. With the remainder of the book filled with
accounts, memoranda, copies of letters, etc , by Gen. Par-
sons' son, Enoch Parsons, financier of Connecticut. Oblong
12mo, original boards, sheep- back (worn).
* Early in 1778 Gen. Parsons was appointed to command the
troops stationed in the Highlands of the Hudson and to take
charge of the construction of the fortifications at West Point.
The orderly book shows that this work was commenced on
March 9th and Captains Savage and Champion were appointed
to direct the building of the works. On April 1 1th Gen. Par-
sons named each of the redoubts by the name of the regiment
which occupied it, as: Putnam's Redoubt, Webb's Battery,
Meigs's Battery, Sherbourn's Redoubt. Many orders relate to
the care to be taken against spies, and one offers a reward of
$30 for every spy captured. It is interesting to note that Gen.
Parsons was one of the board that tried Andre two years later,
and that it was afterward charged that Gen. Parsons was a
traitor and was furnishing information to the enemy about the
time of Arnold's disgrace. The Orderly Book further shows
that on March 7th a squad was ordered to King's Ferry as guard
till stores could be removed, Mar. 9; Wm. McCorny was ap-
pointed to oversee, collect and take care of all the boats and
other craft in the River. Mar. 27; a ferry was established at
West Point, Apr. 4; "A sentinel is to be placed on the Heights
to observe to Anthony's Xose; if any fires or Smoke* arc made
there immediate notice is to be given." Apr. 12. a guard is to
observe and signal the movements of the enemy's ships. Be-
sides the above there are orders for courts martial, orders to
attend divine service, orders in case of attack by the enemy,
etc., etc.

Tripoli theSSd Ulto under the Turkish Colors was in that port
when the Philadelphia ran on the rocks, and that the Captain
who pretends to be a Turk, took on board upwards of an hun-
dred Tripolines, slipped his cables, and went out to attack her.
Hauled down'the Turkish and hoisted the Tripoline Colors, and
as soon as the Frigate surrendered he boarded, plundered the
officers and conducted them to the Bashaw in triumph." Here
follows an explanation of his reasons for holdinir the prize and
crew: " If a Tripoline he is a Prize. If a Turk a Pirate."

Boats, etc.

* A valuable historical and biographical series of letters from

letter refers to his descent from Pocahontas and John Bolfe.
Another describes the flight of his mother, with a babe only a
week old and John Randolph, then about five, when Gen.
Arnold was raiding the country during the Revolution. "I see
her the evening that she fled again (by night) from Tarleton
as she flung my deceased father's most valuable papers into a
pillow case and put his steel hilted dagger into her stays. I
asked her what that was for, 'My son, your mother shall never
be insulted,' was her reply." Many and vivid are his descrip-
tions of Roanoke, of his dogs, his horses, his slaves, etc.; of the
destruction of his library by fire and his financial losses; of
his health ; of the insanity of his nephew ; of the abilities and
characteristics of his adopted son. Randolph was always active
in politics and had decided opinions of the policies and poli-
ticians of the time. He remarks that Jackson, Clay and Cal-
houn are ruining the country; that Gallatin and Monroe have
caused all the suffering of the people. On Jan. 2, 1815, he
writes: "All is confusion at O [throughout the letters he calls
Washington 'O'; for the "Federal Old-Fields"]. Letters this
morning express doubts whether the bank bill will, or will not pass.
Dallas reviled by the Jacobins (the democratic ones I mean)
wlio are at daggers drawn with each other. Newton ("valiant
Feeble"'!) talking of "revolt". Gholson ("Wart", if you
please, for he is a mere excrecence) complaining that if you,
mention the Bank Bill to a brother Demo, you are in danger
of being insulted ..." He comments on the Hartford Con-
vention, his own elections and defeats, his hatred for the city
of Washington, etc. He frequently expresses his abhorrence of
Napoleon, and sharply criticises European affairs. Almost every
letter mentions the title of some book he has been reading, his
favorites being Madame de Stael and Shakespeare. During the
war of 1812 he visited military camps, and the letters contain ,
descriptive notes on the privations and sufferings of the troops,
M
unsanitary conditions, etc. On Feb. 4, 1815, he writes: "News
from Xete Orleans. Jackson repelled a desperate attack on his
lines with the loss of only thirty men. British killed 700.
Total loss 15-1600," etc.
These letters are apparently unpublished, and many of the
facts and incidents are evidently either unknown or unnoted by
Randolph 's biographers — such as his love affairs, his adopted
son, Dr. Dudley, etc.

blessing and heaven's be upon him and make him like his

hair, and then all the men and women must love him. Martin

of tfte feature^ of $art V,
The most important single item in the large, varied, and interesting
collection of Autographs made by the late Adrian H. Joline, Esq., the
one to which he gave the most careful attention and in which he took
the greatest pride, was his complete
SET OF THE SIGNEES
of the Declaration of Independence, which is now offered for sale, each
autograph separately. "I love to turn the faded, yellow pages,"
wrote Mr. Joline, "and to think of the men who gave a new republic
to mankind." He began to make this collection early in his career as
a collector and he did not complete it till shortly before his death.
The scarcest of all the autographs are those of Lynch and Gwinnett.
Mr. Joline 's example of the former is the signature written on the
back of an engraved frontispiece to "The Tragedies of Sophocles,"
which Mr. Joline himself removed from the book which was once part
of the Lynch library. The Gwinnett is a signature attested by Charles
C. Jones, Jr., the well-known historian of Georgia, and was the last
autograph of a Signer that Mr. Joline secured; to his great delight it
made his collection complete.
Next to the Lynch and Gwinnett signatures, he valued the Hooper
letter, for it was written to Hewes and delivered by Penn, thus bringing
into intimate association the three Signers from North Carolina. The
autographs of Francis Lightfoot Lee, Nelson, Boss, Rutledge, Sherman,
Whipple, Penn, and Hewes are rare in any form, but this Collection
contains a full Autograph Letter Signed by each of them, and the
letters are generally of an historical character, so that a great oppor-
tunity to improve their collections of the Signers is now afforded to
the few fortunate possessors of a complete set, while the sale opens to
all collectors an unusual opportunity to acquire autographs which rarely
come on the market. The Franklin letter in the Joline Collection is
long and very interesting and was written to Dr. Samuel Johnson. The
Harrison letter is important historically because it deals with the
defence of Virginia. The Hopkinson letter is addressed to Franklin
and discusses the electric battery. That by Bead relates to his com-
pilation of the laws of Maryland. The Collection is made up of forty
Autograph Letters Signed, five Autograph Documents Signed, six
Documents Signed, two Letters Signed, one Autograph Letter, and the
two signatures of Lynch and Gwinnett — a total of fifty -six. The por-
traits of the Signers and views of their residences, collected by Mr.
Joline and all inlaid to folio (144 pieces in all), are offered as a
single lot.
MISCELLANEOUS AUTOGEAPHS.
Attention may be called to the following early letters and documents
among the many highly important autographs in this division of Mr,
Joline's Collection.
Ethan Allen's document charging his brother with conspiring with
the loyalists; a letter by Benedict Arnold and one by his wife; docu-
ments signed by Israel and Eufus Putnam; original charges made by
Col. John Brown against Benedict Arnold, addressed to General Gates,
which is of the highest importance; two letters by Eliphalet Dyer
regarding the Connecticut claims in Pennsylvania; the original oath
signed by Alexander Hamilton on his admission to the bar; extracts
from the minutes of the Committee on Plots and Conspiracies, relating
to Cadwallader Golden and signed by John Jay; five letters by
Lafayette; an important letter by Thomas Paine; three documents
signd by Governor John Penn; war letters by Pulaski, Bochambeau,

letters by General Sterling, General Sullivan, and Marinus Willett;
letters by Count de Vergennes, Jonathan Trumbull, and Zebulon Butler;.
Colonel Van Schaick's report on the Onondaga expedition of 1779; a
long series of letters by Alexander Scammell, who was a member of
Washington's military family, one of them relating to the move-
ments of the Northern army; and an important letter by Aaron Burr
to General Conway.
The Washington material embraces an early survey, an address to*
the militia of New Jersey, and eight Letters Signed, most of them
relating to the defence of Forts MifHm and Henry.
Among the material of a later date are: A fine letter by Audubon
regarding the folio edition of his "Birds"; letter of John Brown of
Osawatomie to his wife; letters by Generals Brown, Macomb, and
Wilkinson, and other fine material on the War of 1812; and the original
ledgers of John Taylor, a merchant of Albany, from 1790 to 1820.
The Collection is rich in letters from literary celebrities, among
them: Aldrich, Bancroft, Bryant, Cooper, Emerson, Field, Harte,
Hawthorne, Hearn, Holmes, Irving, James, Longfellow, Lowell, Park-
man, Prescott, Taylor, Thoreau, Whitman, and Whittier; and among

accusations against the character of Lieut.-Col. Brown. The

a positive order from Congress, this was not allowed by Gen.
Gates. Col. Brown then sent this petition, in which, after re-
hearsing the above facts, he writes: "I therefore beg your
honor will please to order Brigadier- Gen 'I Arnold in arrest
for the following Crimes which I am ready to verify." The
first three charges relate to the personal conduct of the peti-
tioner; the 4th and 10th, "For suffering the smallpox to spread
in the camp before Quebec and promoting inoculation in the
Continental army." 5th, "For depriving a part of the army
under his command of their usual allowance of Provisions or-
dered by Congress. 6th, For interfering and countermanding1

*"We doubt whether Congress can with propriety judge
between us we are inclined to think this business may be
better affected in the following manner — that the agents for
Pennsylvania and Connecticut alternately nominate a person to
be approved or dissented to by the other party, and so to pro-
ceed until we shall have agreed upon the number proposed,"
etc.
71. CONNECTICUT CLAIMS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Letter from the Connecticut Delegates in Continental Con-
gress, written by request of Congress to Col. Bulter, E. Den-
nison, Mr. Judd, etc., leaders of the Connecticut settlers in
the Wyoming Valley. Written by Eliphalet Dyer, the original
promoter of the project to establish a Connecticut colony in
Pennsylvania, and signed by Dyer, Roger Sherman (signer),
and Silas Dearie (diplomatist), 2 pp. 4to (margin and folds
repaired), Phila. Aug. 2, 1775. Inlaid.
* When, in January, 1774, Connecticut erected the disputed
territory of Wyoming into a county of Connecticut, Gov. Penn,
12
in the name of the King, commanded obedience to the laws of
Pennsylvania. This led to continual strife, and in September,
1775, Col. Plunkett, of Pennsylvania, proceeded against the
settlements at Judea and Charleston. Eumors of these troubles
reached Congress and that body advised the members from both
Connecticut and Pennsylvania to write to the settlers in
Wyoming to cease hostilities. The Connecticut contingent
writes: "We are therefore desired by ye Congress to write
to you and press upon you the necessity of peace and good
order not only among yourselves but by no means to give the
least disturbance to the persons, property or possessions of
those settled under the Proprietary of Pennsylvania, and
especially of those who are gone as riflers into the service of
their country and to join the army near Boston," etc. This is
apparently the first notice taken by Congress of the Connecticut
claim. It was ineffective, however, for in November Col.
Plunkett set out against Wyoming with 700 men and there met
Col. Zebulon Butler on Dec. 24, 1775. Thereupon Congress took
the first official notice of the struggle on Dec. 20, 1775, and
recommended that they cease hostilities.

the Constituted Agent, and the business to be transacted for

a profound secret After this the Committee of Foreign
Affairs appointed Thomas Pain their secretary who was a
flaming Whig and wrote much, lie published in one of the

of France. . . . This paper went to England and excited strong
feelings towards the King of France. . . . He sent to Congress
for them to vindicate his character Congress was in
great perplexity what to do, but nothing short of a direct con-
tradiction of the account published in the paper would be
adequate, and Congress was obliged to pass a Resolution that
the account in the paper .... was a falsehood," etc.

(5); AUTOGRAPH LETTER (1); LETTERS SIGNED (2); DOCUMENTS
SIGNED (6); SIGNATURES (2), forming a complete set, including the
signatures of Gwinnett and Lynch. Eight are "1776" letters, including
the excessively rare South Carolina delegates, Joseph Hewes and William
Hooper, the latter (written to Hewes) being of such length and his-
torical importance as to make it almost unique; and fifteen additional
are "War Letters" written between 1775 and 1783.
There are also documents signed by the entire Marine Committee,
1776 (Hancock, Hooper, Lee, Lewis, Morris, Whipple, and Walton), all
signers, and the Naval Committee, 1775 (John Adams, Hewes, and Hop-
kins, signers, Deane, etc.)
420. ADAMS (SAMUEL, Signer from Massachusetts).
A. L. S., folio, Boston, Nov. 8, 1784, with leaf of address (in-
laid) to John Avery.
* To the Secretary of Congress, declining his election as a
delegate, on account of the precarious state of his health. En-
dorsed with another signature of Adams and of S. A. Otis.
421. ADAMS (JOHN, Signer from Massachusetts).
A. L. S., 4to, inlaid, Paris, Dec. 24, 1782. To M. Dumas.
* ' ' We cannot say whether we are to have Peace or not. I
wish the definitive Treaty were signed or the Negotiations
broken off that I may return to you. ' ' He likewise asks for a
copy of Pownal's "Fences sur la Revolution."
Adams arrived in Paris at the end of October, 1782, to
arrange the terms of Peace with Great Britain.

SIGNERS — Continued.
422. BARTLETT (JOSIAH, Signer from New Hamp-
shire). A. L. S., 3 pp. 4to, Philadelphia, October 27, 1778.
The signature has been inserted. Marked "Copy of a letter
to John Langdon." Second leaf inlaid. Langdon was the
first presiding officer of the Senate of the United States.
* An interesting letter on the French alliance. He writes
that Britain seems to believe that the States have acted con-
trary to their Constitution in making the alliance, but the
States must make it evident that the alliance is a fact or
Britain will never recognize their Independence so long as
there is the slightest hope of subduing them. He suggests that
resolutions be passed by the States approving the alliance.
Bartlett was the first man to give his vote for the Declara-
tion and the second to sign it.
423. BRAXTON (CARTER, Signer from Virginia). Un-
usually long A. L. S., 5 pp. 4to, West Point, Nov. 1, 1777.
* While the greater part of this long letter relates to busi-
ness affairs, the disposal of cotton, sugar and tobacco, yet
national prosperity was so entirely dependent upon the out-
come of the war, that the historical parts of the letter are
unusually interesting. Although Burgoyne had suffered his
second defeat on October 7, the news has been contradicted:
"Your contradiction to the acc't we had rec'd of Burgoyne's
total overthrow gave us great uneasiness — the Governor $
Council had ordered a day set apart for Thanksgiving on this
great occasion. . . . We had also been taught to believe that
Phila 'a was also in our Possession 4' that Howe was meditating
a flight, wh. it seems also proves false. . . . Tour high prices
for goods tends to ruin our Cause — if such prices and exhor-
bitant demands are made it will certainly soon draw down the
Vengeance of the Legislature & the People too; probably all
our Money $• Credit will end as the Mississippi Scheme did
and then the Tyrant of Britain will lord it over us without
controul. Let us be content to receive moderate rewards for
our Labours and recollect that the People who ultimately pay
these Prices are the poor soldiers $• officers who are fighting for
us $• exposing their lives while we are trading and growing
Rich. ' '
424. CARROLL OF CARROLLTON (CHARLES, Signer
from Maryland). A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, Annapolis, June 6,
1783 ; the leaf of address to Wm. Cooke, inlaid.
* A very fine letter on the value of silence. An act just
passed militated against the practice of law by Englishmen,
even though they had taken the oath: "/ cm sure that when
men's resentments have somewhat abated they will see the
pernicious tendency of this or any similar Act." He advises
his correspondent to drop his practice for a year or so.
425. CHASE (SAMUEL, Signer from Maryland).
A. L. S., 4to, inlaid, Bait., Aug. 19, 1806. Personal, to his
daughter at Ball Town Springs.
426. CLARK (ABRAHAM, Signer from New Jersey).
Short A. D. S., 4to, Apl. 18, 1776, inlaid. Warrant for pay-
ment for Arms and Military Store "for the use of this
Province"; also signed by A. J. Dunham.

SIGNERS — Continued.
427. CLYMER (GEORGE, Signer from Pennsylvania).
Long A. L. S., 2 pp. folio, Roxborough, Apl. 2, 1779. To a
lady. Inlaid.
* Very fine "war letter": "I hope, however, that as Eng-
land must ~be as tired of the War as ourselves, and is likely
to have numerous Enemies that she will ~be compelled ["from
necessity" changed to] in Time to make Pride give way to
Necessity and allow us our Independence. . . . Our own affairs
do not seem to be in a very good train — The Constitutionalists
prevail and the great ones among themselves will Tceep thevr
power untill they have convinced all Mankind that they have
neither Sense nor Virtue enough to govern a Horde of Tartars.
And as to the Constitution itself 'tis so shattered and battered
but its friends as hardly to be known again by its makers," etc.
428. ELLERY (WILLIAM, Signer from Rhode Island).
Long A. L. S., 2 pp. folio, Newport, Dec. 12, 1798 (slightly
diamaged, with the loss of a few words).
* On the interpretation of the law respecting the licensing
of vessels bound from one port to another in the same district
of the U. S.
429. FLOYD (WM., Signer from New York). Short
A. D. S., 4to, inlaid, Albany, Aug. 2, 1788. Official military
document.
430. FRANKLIN (BENJAMIN, Signer from Pennsyl-
vania). Early A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, Phila. Oct. 25, 1750 . To
Dr. Samuel Johnson, giving ideas on the conduct of an Eng-
lish School, with the latter 's draft of reply on the third leaf
(initialled). Published in Smyth's "Life & Writings," Vol.
Ill, page 20. Resume of the letter written in a later hand
on the leaf of address.
* " I return your Noetica as you desired that you may add
or alter what you think fit before it goes to the Press. . . .
The Trustees have put it on me, as I first mov 'd the English
Education here, to sketch out the idea of the English School;
for which I am indeed very unfit, having neither been educated
myself (except as a Tradesman) nor ever Concern' d in Educat-
ing others. However I have done something towards it which I
now enclose to you," etc.; followed by an outline of his plan.
Dr. Johnson's reply states that no one would suppose the plan
to be sketched out by a Tradesman, and oifers a few sug-
gestions.
431. GERRY (ELBRIDGE, Signer from Massachusetts).
A. L. S., 4to, inlaid, Phila., May 21, 1776, to his brother.
* On business transactions with his brother, in which he
mentions Capt. St. Glair (no doubt Arthur St. Glair) and
closes "As We have a prospect of War on every side I think
it Advisable for yourself and Brother to send your Wives and
Children into ye Country and yourselves to continue at Marble-
head while ye same can be defended."
432. GWINNETT (BUTTON, Signer from Georgia). Cut
signature. Inlaid.
* THE SIGNATURE OP BUTTON GWINNETT, WITH THAT OF
THOMAS LYNCH, JR. (see No. 448), ARE THE TWO RAREST SIG-
48
SIGNEES— Continued.
NATURES OF THE SlGJfERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE, AND THE FOUNDATION STONES OF A SET. This signature
came from the collection of Charles C. Jones, Jr., of Georgia,
the well-known historian, and has the following note in his
autograph : ' ' This signature of Gwinnett, as I am credibly in-
formed, was detached from a memorial signed by a number of
the leading citizens of the town of Sunbury, in St. John's
Parish, Georgia, in 1772, commending an applicant for appoint-
ment as collector of that port. Charles C. Jones, Jr."
This is probably one of the last Signers secured by Mr.
Joline, as in his "Meditations" he remarks that he had not
then succeeded in getting a Gwinnett signature: "It is sad
to behold that vacant space which should be filled by a Button
Gwinnett. I am patiently waiting for Danforth to find some
Gwinnetts in hiding somewhere in Georgia."
433. HALL (LYMAN, Signer from Georgia). A. L. S.,
2 pp. small 4to, Stratfield, Aug. 9, 1750. To Ezra Stiles (then
a young divine of twenty preaching to the Housatonic In-
dians at Stockbridge), who had been his fellow student at
Yale. Hall did not move to Georgia until 1752.
* Very amusing youthful letter: "As y'r alive Tom Trundle
avers upon his Life (wh. Indeed isn't of much importance)
that he sato a Glow-Worm fly w'th Expanded Wings $ Raging
tail, thro' ye whole Sinuous Curvetures of ye American
Collonies, viz. Connec't, Hampsh'r Rhode is', Boston #c $ all
old France via Windsor — the phenomenon threatens ye Extinc-
tion of ye Sun." Later he apologises for this levity, says
there is no news : ' ' You have seen, I suppose, Mr. Dickinson,
in his last Reply," etc.
434. HANCOCK (JOHN, Signer from Massachusetts.)
A. D. S., folio, "In Congress, Novem'r 30 'th 1775." As Pres-
ident of the Congress. Inlaid.
*" Resolved, That the Money lately order 'd be forwarded
with all possible Expedition to General Washington, that he
may be enabled to pay such Soldiers as will Reinlist for the
succeeding Tear, their Wages for the months of October, No-
vember $• December," etc. Interesting as showing that the
Colonials did not expect the war to be a long one.
435. HARRISON (BENJAMIN, Signer from Virginia).
A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, Richmond, Dec. 24, 1780, second leaf
inlaid.
* A fine historical letter bearing on the defense of Virginia
during the last years of the War of the Revolution. "/ am
honor 'd by the Assembly of this State to lay before Congress,
the French Ambassador, and the General, the state of the
Southern War, to inform them of our wants, and our expecta-
tion of assistance. . . . Our Assembly are straining every
nerve to send you a reputable body of men, to cloth them
well, and to lay in the necessary stock of provicions and I have
my hopes that we shall succeed in all these particulars," etc.
436. HART (JOHN, Signer from New Jersey). L. S.,
4to, Princeton, Sept. 2, 1776. To Samuel Morris, Chairman
of the Committee of Safety, Pennsylvania.
* Refusing to allow exemptions to persons employed in
"Manufacturing Entrenching Tools and carrying on Salt
Works in New Jersey without payment of a fine. ' '

SIGNERS — Continued.
437. HEWES (JOSEPH, Signer from North Carolina).
A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, Phila., May 31, 1776. Full letter sheet
to Thos. Gushing.
* "I have seen a letter directed to my Colleague Mr. Hooper
from Brush Sill near Boston (saying) my friend Hooper's
Mother is vn danger of suffering. . . . I have ~been told shd
had £500 sterling settled upon her during life $• that it was
in the hands of Mr. Irwin of Boston who I understand went
off with the King's Troops and carried this money with him.
I hope Irwin has left some Estate that will satisfy that
worthy old lady for any demands she may have against it. I
must also beg the favour of you to see that she gets into
some proper place . . . and be assured you cannot lay a
greater obligation on your friend Hooper." "Win, Hooper was
also a signer from North Carolina. Hewes died in 1779 before
the close of the Eevolution and his letters are very rare.
438. HEYWARD (THOMAS, Jr., Signer from S. Car-
olina). A. D. S., Charlestown, July 2, 1771. Mounted and
very slightly defective. Writ.
* Sent to Congress, as was Thomas Lynch, as a substitute
for his Father.
439. HOOPER (WILLIAM, Signer from North Carolina).
To JOSEPH HEWES, SIGNER FROM THE SAME STATE. A NINE-
PAGE AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED, WITH THE ORIGINAL COVER
AND SEAL, PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 27, 1776, SENT BY THE
HAND OP JOHN PENN (ALSO A SIGNER FROM CAROLINA), and
so noted on the cover in Hooper's handwriting.
* A LETTER OF SUCH LENGTH AND IMPORTANCE BRINGING INTO
ASSOCIATION ALL THREE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA SIGNERS IS
PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN IN THE AUCTION ROOM. Mr. Joline
writes in his "Meditations" (page 301): "One of the dif-
ficult signers is Joseph Hewes and another William Hooper of
the same state — Hewes was a member of the Naval Committee
and Hooper was a member of what is known as the Marine
Committee. ' '
Mr. Hooper begins with the disappointment, he is not to be
able to get home to his family as he understands Howe is
preparing to move South as soon as winter begins: "But I
have still a duty superiour to all these, which supersedes every
tie of private affection and every connection in publick life
that is not essential to the salvation to the liberties of America.
We are upon the verge of that important moment which tho'
it may not decide, yet must have a very important influence
upon the state of these colonies in the future struggle fort
their liberties. Gen. Washington at the head of an army of
25,000, Howe perhaps with a number not inferior to him, at
half a mile's distance from each other, and in expectation
every instant of a general action when the stalce they fight for
are the liberties of millions living and unborn." He warns
Hewes that the Colonies must expect reverses and that Con-
gress must have full powers and energy and that "the Honour
is empty unaccompanied by the fatigues which attend it.
.... Mr. Penn will inform you of the check we have re-
ceived at the Lakes, it is unfortunate but not dishonourable $
even our enemies do us the justice to confess that they never
saw examples of more determined heroism. Every moment we

expect an attack at Ticonderoga. We shall I hope 4' trust play
a winning game and repair our late loss.
I enclose you the Constitutions of several States for tha
speculation of yourself and friends. That of Pennsylvania.
. . . has since made its solemn exit in this City. . . . The
Monster which they called a Government has expired with the
political existence of those who created it. . . . The Consti-
tution of the Jersies has its full energy and gives general
satisfaction — That of Delaware is much commended," etc.
440. HOPKINS (STEPHEN, Signer from Rhode Island).
A. L. S., 4to, inlaid, Providence, Aug. 2, 1755. The signature
inserted.
* On the defeat . and death of Braddock : ' ' This Moment I
rec'd a letter &c from Gov'r Delancey enclosing the Copy of
one from Capt. Orme giveing an account of the Defeat and
Death of Gen'l Braddock, and many of his Officers and men.
This is an Event of so much consequence to all the Colonys that
I thought it my Duty to send it to you by Express. . . . I shall
immediately call our Gen'l Assembly together and recom-
mend to them in the strongest Manner the doing everything
within their Power toward repairing this unhappy Loss," etc.
441. HOPKINSON (FRANCIS, Signer from New Jersey).
A. L. S., to Benjamin Franklin, folio, Oct. 18, 1782. Two
words defective.
* Franklin, Jay and Adams (whom he mentions) were on
the Peace Commission with Great Britain. He writes of
Franklin's Philosophical apparatus, and mentions sending him
a poem he wrote to save the trees in Philadelphia from being
cut down.
"You mentioned an Electrical Battery which you said was
in the hands of Mr. Coombe. I have at last got the Battery
and find five of the Bottles broke. All your Philosophical
Apparatus in my hands hath been carefully preserved $• shall
be delivered at any Time in good Order to your or Mr. Bache's
order. ' '
442. HUNTINGTON (SAMUEL, Signer from Connecti-
cut). A. L. S, folio, inlaid, Norwich, July 2, 1785.
* On a prospective visit from relatives.
443. JEFFERSON (THOMAS, Signer from Virginia).
Long A. L. S., 3 pp. 4to, Paris, June 1, 1789, to John Trum-
ttull in London; leaf of address inlaid. Time-stained and
with a small repair.
* Offering the painter a position on his staff as Minister to
France, where, with Franklin and Adams, he was arranging
commercial treaties: "Dr. Franklin's departure produced an-
other commission to me to remain here indefinitely, tho' I
do not propose to be very long in any office, yet as long as I
remain in any I believe I shall prefer the present one." He
asks Trumbull to send him Sterne's "Sentimental Journey"
and others of his works.
444. LEE (FRANCIS LIGIITFOOT, Signer from Vir-
ginia). A. L. S., 3 pp. folio, Menokin, July 19, 1774. The
second leaf inlaid.
* To his brother, Arthur Lee, in London, joint agent with
Franklin to represent the Assembly. In regard to settlements
51
SIGNERS— Continued,
for tobacco, he writes ' ' I think you w 'd soon receive what is
due but this can't be expected while our dispute with G.
Britain lasts. . . . Inclosed you have the last Vvrg'a paper
I have rec'd. All America is going on in nearly the same
tract. We all seem inclined to pay for the tea destroyed at
Boston, to convince the world that no private injury, no insult
to the British, was intended, but to prevent the establishment
of a precedent, destructive of our Liberty. What do you
think of it?" etc. Lee's autograph is rare in any form, but
particularly scarce in historical letters.
445. LEE (RICHARD HENRY, Signer from Virginia).
A. L. S., 4to, inlaid, Trenton, Dec. 14, 1784. To Col. Wm.
Duer, on a resolution before Congress.
* This was the Continental Congress which had assembled in
Trenton, N. J., on Nov. 1.
446. LEWIS (FRANCIS, Signer from New York).
A. L. S., folio, N. Y., July 14, 1744, to a lawyer, on the con-
duct of a case. (A slight damage affects one word.) The
second leaf inlaid.
* Lewis signed the Declaration in 1776, was one of the N. Y.
Committee of 100, and on several Army and Finance Com-
mittees.
447. LIVINGSTON (PHILIP, Signer from New York).
A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, N. Y., Feb. 5, 1770, the leaf of address
inlaid.
* Affectionate personal letter to his daughter. Livingston
died while attending Congress in 1778, and his letters are
among the rarest of the Signers.
448 LYNCH (THOMAS, Jr., Signer from S. Carolina).
Autograph signature "T. Lynch, Jr." written on the back of
an engraved frontispiece to "The Tragedies of Sophocles
from the Greek," London, 1759.
* THIS AND THE AUTOGRAPH OF BUTTON GwiNNETT ARE, AS
IS WELL KNOWN, THE TWO RAREST AUTOGRAPHS OF THE SIGNERS
OF THE DECLARATION.
The genuine autographs of Thomas Lynch, Jr., probably
number less than twenty-five and most of them are signatures
only. Old collections of letters and books have been rum-
maged over so industriously that it is almost a certainty that
no others will be discovered. Mr. Joline gives an account of
this signature in his "Meditations of an Autograph Collector."
After saying that if he had known how difficult it was to obtain
Lynch, Gwinnett, and other Southern Signers he would have
begun his collecting some years before, he remarks that he
now can only exclaim, ' ' Oh, that I had lived before I was
born." . . . The Lynch "is a full signature, written on the
back of the frontispiece of a large quarto volume entitled 'The
Tragedies of Sophocles from the Greek.' ... I myself detached
the sheet from the book, as there was another but less satis-
factory signature on the title-page, and I was obliged to take
my choice. The book came from the Pringles, of Charleston,
and wa# part of the Lynch library."

SIGNERS — Continued.
449. McKEAN (THOMAS, Signer from Maryland).
A. L. S., 4to, Lancaster, Penn., Feb. 1, 1804. Inlaid.
* To the Governor of Virginia, that George McDougal and
Elizabeth Becom had been apprehended and would be turned
over to the State of Virginia.
450. MIDDLETON (ARTHUR, Signer from S. Carolina).

margin.

five patriots, 4to, inlaid, Sept. 5, 1790, on damages done a

Army," etc.
452. MORRIS (ROBERT, Signer from Pennsylvania).
A. L. S., 4to, Feb. 18, 1799, no place, to John Nicholson.
Inlaid.
* Apparently written when in prison, where he was placed
for debt after the failure of his speculations in the East
India and China Trade. He speaks of enclosing a copy he has
made of a chapter in the Bible "Visitation," which he thinks
analagous to his case and Nicholson's.
' ' Why may not the Lord in whom we trust, do for us in
these days what he did for Job and others in the ' old times and
the times before them.' "
453. MORTON (JOHN, Signer from Pennsylvania).
Partly printed D. S., folio, inlaid, Nov. 6, 1775.

454. NELSON (THOMAS, Signer from Virginia).
A. L. S., folio, Orange Old Court House, Jan. 8, 1781. (Re-
paired and inlaid.) To Col. Josiali Parker.
* A fine letter on the defense of Virginia under Lafayette :
"By your letter of the 30th of last month to the Hon'ble Maj'r
Gen'l Marquess La Fayettc, I find that the Lieutenants of the
Counties adjacent to Portsmouth have their doubts with respect
to ordering their Militia into the field without particular orders
from the Governor. . . . I do hereby empower you to call for as
many Militia as you can Arm. ... 7 desire you will take the
Command $• arrange them in siich manner a.v you shall think
most conducive to the Interest of the service." The autograph
of Nelson is rare in any form, and particularly scarce in
historical letters as above.
455. PACA (WM., Signer from Maryland). A. L. S.,
folio, repaired and inlaid, Feb. 4, 1796. (Annapolis.) As-
sisting his son in business.
456. PAINE (ROBERT TREAT, Signer from Massa-

SIGNEBS — Continued.
457. PENN (JOHN, Signer from N. Carolina). A. L. S.,
1 p. folio, York, Feb. 20, 1778. Inlaid.
* To Gov. Thos. Johnson, informing him that Joshua Hamp-
stead has fled to Maryland and requesting his apprehension.
A rare Southern Signer; very difficult to procure in A. L. S.
458. READ (GEORGE, Signer from Delaware). A. L. S.,
2 pp. folio, Newcastle, Jan. 10, 1790, "To the Speaker of the
House of Assembly of the Delaware State. ' '
* An unusually fine letter explaining his delay in the prep-
aration of the Laws of Maryland for the press; he had been,
called to New York in April to attend the Senate, though the
presence of his colleague, Mr. Bassett, he had hoped would make
that unnecessary: "I find that divers laws were enacted after
the year 1776, publiclc as well as private never printed, and of
course no copies of them in the Collection delivered to me. . . .
According to the Plan I have adopted for publication I set
down the Title of all Acts of Assembly, numbering each as
Chapters and make references by chapters and sections. . . .
/ am satisfied that some of the non-printed Acts are existing
Laws partially altering prior ones — and as the Minutes of
neither Branch of the Legislature were printed after 1777 until
the year 1782 — at least I have none such — I cannot reduce the
Numbers of the Non-Printed Acts to any certainty."
459. RODNEY (CAESAR, Signer from Delaware). A. L. S.,
2 pp. 4to, Phila., July 17, 1776. To Thomas Rodney (his
brother). Second leaf inlaid.
* He is glad the hay harvest is secure as it will be very
material to them in the winter; he expects to attend the Assem-
bly at Newcastle : ' ' We have no material news — Lord Howe 's
transports with the Soldiery are not yet arrived." Two days
later Congress ordered the Declaration of Independence "en-
grossed on parchment and signed by every member of Con-
gress." An interesting glimpse of the state of affairs in Phila-
delphia in the eventful month which saw the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.
460. ROSS (GEORGE, Signer from Pennsylvania). Long
A. L. S., 2 pp. folio, no place or date. To his sister, at New-
castle.
* Fine example of a personal letter, mentions Philadelphia,
where he says he has been ill. He died in 1779 and his auto-
graph is very rare.
461. RUSH (BENJAMIN, Signer from Pennsylvania).
A. L. S., 3 pp. small 4to, Phila., Apl. 24, 1790, last leaf inlaid.
(To Jas. Madison.)
* " / do myself the pleasure of enclosing you the pamphflet
I mentioned in my last letter. I have only to request that you
would not suffer it to go out of your hands without guarding
against the possibility of its finding its way into a newspaper.
. . . The United States kindled the flame of liberty. It is
highly proper that they should fan it!"
462. RUTLEDGE (EDWARD, Signer from S. Carolina).
A. L. S., 1 p. 4to, n. p., June 20, 1790. (To John Hancock.)
Inlaid.

SIGNERS — Continued.
463. SHERMAN (RO.GER, Signer from Connecticut).
A. L. S., 1 p. 4to, inlaid, Phila., Nov. 25, 1791.
* Returning memorandums concerning the Indians. He con-
cludes by writing that the hostile Indians will be brought to
immediate peace, but perhaps not without some fighting (St.
Glair's Expedition). Very rare in A. L. S.
464. SMITH (JAMES, Signer from Pennsylvania). A.L.S.,
1 p. folio, inlaid, York, Sept. 20, 1785, to Jasper Yeates. On
legal business.

A. L. S., 2 pp. 4to, Princeton, Jan. 27, 1770, the leaf of address
to Jas. Parker, inlaid. Legal.

signed. He died in 1781, weakened after imprisonment by the
British in New York and from the resulting exposure.

469. WALTON (GEORGE, Signer from Georgia). A. L. S.,
2 pp. folio, Virginia, P. Edw'd. Apl. 22, 1777. To Col. Stirk.
* A lengthy letter on the disbursements for recruiting service
for Georgia, and disputes on allowances for which he expects
to expend some of his own money and without return. Mr.
Joline in "Meditations" allows this letter to be touched with
the cheerful humor which enlivens the book: "/ will only
quote George Walton (moderately rare) because of his touch-

* Containing a very interesting account of the conduct of
Eichard Stockton after he had been thrown in prison by the
Loyalists, showing that he was not held in the highest esteem
by such ardent patriots as Witherspoon: "Judge Stockton is
not very well in health $• much spoken against for his Conduct.
He signed Howe's Declaration and also gave his Word of
Honour that he would not meddle in the least in American
affairs during the War — Mr. Cochran . . . said that Judge
Stockton had brought Evidence to General Howe to prove that
he was on his Way to seek a protection when he was taken, this
he denies to be true yet many credit it but Mr. Cochran' s known
quarrel with him makes it very doubtful to candid Persons."
He speaks of the arrival of Franklin in France, Lewis Morris,
Gen. Maxwell and other important figures of the time; also of
the preparations against the arrival of the British at Prince-
ton (near his home) ; that the British had been expected in
Philadelphia, ' ' but now it begins to be judged that their in-
tention is to seize the North Eiver to effect a juncture with
Carleton if possible, which was the last year's scheme," etc.

been in the country eight years when he affixed his name to the
Declaration.

appointment to the Bank, of Brigadier General in the Con-
tinental Army. Your Commission shall be forwarded to you,
as soon as it comes to my hands. It will bear date from the
81st last Month. I beg you will make use of your utmost Exer-
tions, to raise and equip the two Battalions allotted to your
State, which, by a letter from Gov. Cook, I hope will be soon
done. I have recommended innoculation to all Recruits in the
new Army, who have not had the small Pox, and I desire, that
as fast as yours are inlisted, they may be sent to some con-
venient place and their take the infection. ..."
582. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 2 pp. folio,

* An interesting letter relating to the defences of Forts
Mifflin and Henry, commanding the approaches on the Dela-
ware Eiver. Fort Mifflin was invested by the British fleet on
Nov. 10, 1777, and its early fall, carried with it, as Washington
foresaw, the surrender of Fort Mercer. ' ' By letters from the
Baron Arendt. . . . I understand that what they principally
fear at Fort Mifflin is a surprise by Night, or a lodgment upon
the upper end of the sland. . . . The only method of guarding
effectually against this, is by keeping Boats stationed at Night
between Fort and Province Island to give an immediate alarm.
... 7 am afraid that matters do not go smoothly between the
Commandant at Fort Mifflin and the Commodore, as there are
every now and then complaints of inattention in the Commo-
dore. ... 7 beg you will do all in your power to reconcile any
differences. ..."
583. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 2 pp. folio.
Head Quarters, Whitemarsh, Nov. 8, 1777. To Gen. Varnum.
•Relates to the defences of Fort Mifflin: "I am pleased
to hear of the success of your Cannonade against the Enemy's
shipping, and I am very certain if we liad more heavy Cannon
mounted upon travelling carriages to move up and down the
Beach occasionally, that we should annoy and distress them
exceedingly. To possess Btilingsport as well as Red Bank «*
certainly a most desirable object. ... 7 have just seen a very
intelligent person from Philada. . . . He finds . . . that a formit-
able attack is to be made upon Fort Mifflin. ... 7 therefore
repeat . . . that you should immediately reinforce Fort Mifflin
as strongly as possible, and give ttie Commodore notice of the
L intended attack."
67
584. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S,, 2 pp. folio, Head
Quarters, Whitemarsh, Nov. 12, 1777, 1 0 'Clock, P. M.
* A fine letter, in which Washington shows his anxiety at
the possible fall of Fort Mifflin: "I am sorry to -find from
yours of yesterday, that the fire of the Enemy had made so
great an impression upon the Works of Fort Mifflin, that you
thought an evacuation would be necessary. As I have not yet
heard that the measure was determined upon, I hope it is not
carried into execution. If it is not, it is the unanimous opinion
of the Council of General Officers now sitting, that the Fort
be held to the last extremity. . . . We are now thinking if there
is any possibility of attacking the Enemy in reverse and there-
by raising the Siege. . . . Therefore endeavor to hold the Island
till the practicability of that measure at least is determined
upon. ..."
585. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 2 pp. folio, Head
Quarters, Nov. 12, 1777, 5 0 'Clock, P. M. [To Gen. Varnum. ]
* An extremely interesting letter, in which the opinion of the
Council of Officers regarding the defenders at Fort Mifflin has
been altered, from that expressed by Washington in his letter
of the same date, but four hours earlier : ' ' Since I wrote you
at one o'clock this day, yours dated twelve last night came to
hand. This has occasioned an alteration in the sentiments of
myself and the Council, who find it impossible, from your rep-
resentation, to give timely relief to the Fort. We therefore
are now of opinion that the Cannon and Stores ought immedi-
ately to be removed, and every thing put into a disposition to
remove totally at a minutes warning. . . . If what works remain
could be blown up, or otherways effectually destroyed before
evacuation, it would take the enemy so much more time and
labour to make a lodgement upon the Island."
586. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 1 p. folio, Head
Quarters, Nov. 12, 1777, 5 0 'Clock. To Gen. Varnum.
* A copy of the above letter, with the following additional

day, but that may have miscarried."
587. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 1 p. folio, Head
Quarters, Nov. 13, 1777. To Brig.-Gen. Varnum.
* A highly important historical letter, referring to his two
letters of the previous day and urging the necessity of defend-
ing Fort Mifflin to- the last: "I would have a show of defence
kept up as long as possible, by such a number of men as you
shall judge necessary — the importance of delaying the father
progress of the Enemy and preventing their making a Lodge-
ment on the Island is too obvious to need any insisting upon
it. ... I think an enterprise of a more active nature might be
carried nto execution. ... I mean a descent upon Providence
Island, for the purpose of spiking the Enemy's cannon and
levelling their batteries. ..."
588. WASHINGTON (GEORGE). L. S., 1 p. folio, Head
Quarters, April 25, 1778. To Col. Shreve. With address and

She refers to the volume dedicated to her by Poe and to Lan-
dor's poem on Robert Browning. "Mr. Browning, . . . a great
poet he is, a greater poet he will be, for to work and to live

rest is said to smoke rather than to write poems. Dickens is
about to cast himself headlong into his doubtful undertaking
of the new daily, The Daily News," etc.

1841. With a portrait. 2 pieces.
* An interesting letetr. " . . . Since my arrival in Africa
I have been so busy that I had not the time to know the good
or the bad spoken of me. The affairs of Algeria are little
known in France. Those who seem capable of speaking of
them fittingly, do so with such passion, personal interest, and,
often, with false judgment or so imperfectly that a volume

gether 22 pieces.
* The above correspondence relates to questions arising
from the separation of Lord Lytton from his wife. Lady
Lytton commanded an unusual fund of invective and this she
used freely in her dealings with both her husband and her
son. She wrote ' ' Cheveley, ' ' in which her husband was de-
picted as the villain, and later publicly denounced him on the
occasion of his election to parliament as member for Hertford.
She was further embittered by being frequently in financial
straits, as much of her money was used in lawsuits against her
husband.
The correspondence of the younger Lytton is entirely placa-
tory, in spite of his mother's denouncements of him as his
father 's tool and pupil. The earlier letters refer to passing
events, his own hopes, his approaching marriage, etc.

power to show that gratitude which 'while life's warm spirit
beats within my breast' shall ever glow to the family of Glen-
cairn. I might have altered or omitted some things in these
h'ttirx; /xrliups I ought to have done so; but I wished to show
you the bard and his style in their native colors. I have the
honor to be, with the moat heart-warm, grateful sincerity," etc.
The Glencairns were of the first and best of Burns' friends
and the poet never lost the deep sense of gratitude and affec-
tion he felt when first his genius was recognized by "My good
friend, Lord Glencairn. ' '

tliat his gallows were raised on the new world as the cross on
the ancient. America is not any more to-day the Virgin Amer-
ica; she has now her crime. You have written the book on
John Brown, which had to be written; a book which has all the
interest of a drama, and all the exactness of a repertory. The
Historians will same day consult your work, because it is more
than excellent; it is complete. . ." (translation). The letter
of Victor Hugo's son is in reference to a translation of

* A most interesting and apparently unknown letter. It ifl
• mentioned by neither Fornian nor Colvin, nor are the addressees
included in the index of either work. At the time of writing
Keats and his brother Tom had but recently returned from
Teignmouth to bid farewell to George Keats, who had a few
days earlier married and sailed with his wife for America. It
was shortly after this time that Keats wrote his famous letter
to the ' ' Chronicle ' ' defending ' ' Endymion, ' ' and in view of
this and other evidences of his having passed through a rather
painful maturing process, it is surprising to note in this letter
his many lapses into that boyishness which characterized those
of a few years earlier.
f'My Dear Girls, 7 ... must confess the indolence of my dis-
position makes a letter more formidable to me than a pilgrim-
age." Regarding the Corporation meetings concerning St.
Paul's Cathedral, he says: "Many interesting speeches have
been Demosthcnized in said coffee-house as to the cause of the
black appearance of said cathedral." "Oh! there's nothing
like snuff except perhaps a few things almost beneath a phil-
osopher's dignity, such as a ripe peach or a kiss that one takes
on a lease of 91 moments, — on a building (billing) lease."
"You have had a clustering [of robins] a top o' the tiles and
a haick has stood God father and taken the little brood under
the shadows of its u-mas much in the way of mother church.
A cat too, has very tender bowels in such pathetic cases.'' "I
like to play upon a pipe, sitting upon a puncheon and intend to
be so drawn in the frontispiece to my next book of Pastorals."
He concludes with a postscript on the many significations of
"P.S." In a pulpit: Parson's Snuffle; Country Ale House:
Pail Sider; etc.

Special feature^ of $art VIII.
This Catalogue of autographs from the large and remarkable collec-
tion made by the late Adrian H. Joline, Esq., of New York City,
embraces an important portion of his material on the War of the Revolu-
tion, and will prove of great interest to all collectors of Americana. It
is not often that an opportunity occurs for acquiring so many important
letters bearing directly upon the struggle for Independence and the
birth of a new nation.
Among the famous men represented here by Autograph Letters are
John Adams, General Armstrong, Aaron Burr, Charles Carroll, Wade
Hampton, William Henry Harrison, Patrick Henry, Kosciuszko, Lafay-
ette, John Laurens, Arthur Lee, Alexander Hamilton, Eobert R. Liv-
ingston, General Macdougal, James Madison, John Matthews, General
John M. Scott, General John Sullivan, Martin Van Buren, and scores of
others; but
Special attention should be called to the following additional and
unusually important material:
Benedict Arnold to Gov. Greene, regarding his trial, presumably on
the charges by President Reed, in which Arnold insists that his char-
acter "has been most cruelly and unjustly aspersed"; George Clinton,
the first Governor of New York, to General Wadsworth, on supplies for
the starving army; Thomas Gushing to Gerry, reporting the success of
the army under General Thomas on the heights of Dorchester; two fine
war letters by General Nathanael Greene, complaining that some of his
suggestions had been coldly received, asserting his love for civil liberty,
and praising the Continental Congress as "the united council and
strength of America";
General Heath to Gerry, regarding the cannon brought from Ticon-
deroga; Sir William Howe to General Ross on Napoleon, the Directory,
and the probability of a French attack on Ireland; General William
Irvine on the "Whiskey Rebellion," in which he refers to two famous
Indians, Brant and Cornplanter; Andrew Jackson to Crawford, in which
he vindicates the Tennessee soldiers from the charge that they were
responsible for depredations on the Indians; Thomas Jefferson to James
Madison, regarding a treaty with Great Britain, in which he expressed
his views on the navigation of the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi;
Chancellor Livingston to General Washington, on the preliminary treaty
of peace, and to Oliver Ellsworth on the plan for a Federal judiciary;
General Macdougal to Governor Clinton, on the departure of British
troops from New York and a possible attempt to release Burgoyne's
army; the Autograph Diary of Mrs. Madison, which she sent to her hus-
band, and an autograph poem by her; an important letter by Madison
to Van Buren, in which national questions are discussed; the Eesolution
of Congress, signed by Laurens as President, empowering Washington
to call on the colonies for troops; an important document in the hand-
writing of Evart Bancker and signed by Pierre Van Cortlandt, Lieuten-
ant-Governor of New York, urging that money be raised to equip the
troops so they can co-operate with the allies soon to arrive from France ;
Autograph letters by all who have served as Attorney-General of the
United States, with biographical notes and signed artist proof por-
traits by the Eosenthals;
Three important war letters signed by Washington; the certificate of
exchange of General Benjamin Lincoln for General Phillips of the Brit-
ish army, signed by Joshua Loring, the British commissioner;
The agreement in 1778 for the exchange of prisoners, written by Elias
Boudinot; a large number of important letters by members of the Old
Congress, and, among some material of a later date,
Washington Irving 's Note Book, 45 pages, entirely in his autograph,

* In 1776, 1,821 American prisoners were sent to the Amer-

starved, sick, and of no use as soldiers — Gen. Washington
refused to give up an equal number of well-fed, strong recruits
to the British Army. This led to a violent dispute between the
opposing Commissioners, and, as a consequence, no further
exchange was made until 1778, when the matter was finally

ment, 900 British prisoners were released in full discharge for

to take from the minds of tJwse gentlemen very unfavorable

* Contains orders to Spencer regarding his movements. ' ' 7
wish to God the Militia may join you soon so as to enable you
to keep your present post. It in in my opinion very important, —
it protects a fine country of forage much wanted by the enemy

such check would probably take an active part. I hope you
have detach'd the four hundred men to Heath or his heart will
break. . . . The fact is so many men of the party I march'd
off from White Plains are so feet gall'd that without taking
two regiments from Heath, I could not march a force sufficient
to the Jerseys — and perhaps the fate of America depends on
the competency of my force," etc.

release of Gen. Burgoyne's army, Gen. Gates with his division
has marched from Danbury to Connecticut river there to wait
events. Three brigades march this morning for Farmington

served by Great Britain. It is a fact that a single insurance

600,000 dollars, and, for captures by the English during the
same period 400,000 dollars only, with this further difference

shot from his horse and carried of the field badly wounded . .

first of two great battles which resulted in the complete route

make a proper disposition of them and join this Army with

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PART IX.
The sale of the Autographs here catalogued will bring to a conclusion
the dispersal of the great Collection made by the late Adrian II. Joline,
Esq., of New York.
Some duplicates from his Set of the Signers of the Declaration of
Independence are here offered, consisting of full Autograph Letters
Signed by Carroll, Hancock, Hooper, Jefferson, Livingston, and Wilson,
and Documents Signed by Adams, Bartlett, Hall, Heyward, Hewes,
Hooper, Hopkins, Lee, Lewis, Morris, Morton, Bead, Walton, Whipple,
and Wolcott. There is a Manuscript Account Book wholly in the hand-
writing of John Penn, which is also desirable.
Among the Autograph Manuscripts are some by Mark Twain, Richard
Henry Stoddard, George William Curtis, Richard Malcolm Johnson,
Louise Imogen Guiney, Bret Harte, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and Wash-
ington Irving. One of the Irving Manuscripts contains a very interesting
account of Tarrytown, and another is the story of Abderahman, this
consisting of fifty pages in Irving 's autograph.
A Letter Book of 200 pages in the handwriting of John Howard
Payne, author of ' ' Home, Sweet Home, " is of extraordinary interest,
because it contains copies of the letters to and from Mrs. von Harten,
and some of his verses.
Another very important item is the remarkable letter which Edgar
Allan Poe wrote to Mrs. Shew the day before the death of his wife.
Among the material of the Revolutionary period will be found fine
war letters from Washington, Greene, Hamilton, Knox, Lafayette, Bur-
goyne, Dearborn, and other distinguished men; and there is also the very
remarkable Autograph Diary by Washington 'a aide, John Laurens, in
which he gives a complete account of the military movements leading to
the surrender of the army of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Several thousand portraits and views suitable for extra-illustration are
included in this sale.

* ' ' Kindest, dearest friend — My poor Virginia still lives, al-
though failing fast and now suffering much pain. May God
grant her life until she sees you and thanks you once again!
Her bosom is full to overflowing — like my own — ivith a 'bound-
less, inexpressible gratitude to you. Lest she may never see
you more, she bids me say that she sends you her sweetest kiss
of love and will die blessing you. But come, oh, come to-
morrow! Yes, I will be calm — everything you so nobly wish
to see me. My mother sends you, also, her 'warmest love and
thanks.' She begs me to ask you, if possible, to make arrange-
ments at home so that you may stay with us tomorrow night.
I enclose the order to the Postmaster. Heaven bless you and
farewell. ' '
Mrs. Shew is the "M. L. S. " to whom Poe addressed several

poems which show the almost passionate gratitude he felt to-
wards the lady who had sheltered and tendered his wife during
her fatal illness, with all the solicitude of a mother. Virginia
died the day following the writing of above letter. It was
Mrs. Shew who suggested "The Bells" — sitting by the poet
and supplying the title and first lines of several verses.
The above letter is reproduced in Harrison 's Life of Poe.
